One FBI internal newsletter encouraged FBI agents to conduct more interviews with antiwar activists "for plenty of reasons, chief of which it will enhance the paranoia endemic in such circles and will further service to get the point across that there is an FBI agent behind every mailbox."

Huh? How is it paranoia if they really are out to get us?

Poll results: The vast majority of people don't seem to mind the word counts, so they stay. Hopefully this means in about 52 weeks you will all see the post that entirely consists of the words "it's done it's done it's done yay hooray fall down go boom now?" And then, of course, the edits. Thanks to everyone for the encouragement and support!

I think The Vast Majority sounds like something that should have been in the Phantom Tollbooth, don't you?
